Hooper goes on to list the following public figures for their “neo-McCarthyite” responses towards the creation of a mosque near ‘ground zero.’

  • Newt Gingrich- Former Speaker of the House
  • Sarah Palin- Former Governor of Alaska and 2008 Vice Presidential candidate
  • Carl Paladino- New York gubernatorial candidate
  • Rick Lazio- New York gubernatorial candidate
  • Frank Gaffney- President of the Center for Security Policy
